When the new MAME importer says clones will be imported as “apps”... what does that mean exactly? I don’t remember hearing that phrase in regard to LaunchBox before

So apparently there is a new MAME importer... I deleted my Arcade list, and then reimported with the new importer. I have roughly 500 roms in my folder and it took quite a while to import, it looks like it imported over 2,500 roms now. Is there something that I missed or do I have to have the full MAME set now? I was using a modified version of LordMonkus' No Filler batch to filter out only the roms I want. So my ROMs folder only has 500 games in it, I point the MAME importer to that folder, then it imports 2,500 games.. Not really sure what I'm doing wrong.

I've had several issues with several games in Daphne over the years which I was never able to figure out how to fix. Now that there is a Daphne core in RetroArch, does anyone have a quick setup guide for that? I have all the games setup to work with normal Daphne, but not the RA core.

Nope, not yet. I actually posted about this yesterday in the Emulation section (Apparently there is like 3 or 4 separate threads about PCSX2 Configuration stuff). Next broke the plugin and doesn't work anymore. It works with the original LB, and any settings you already downloaded still work properly. but if you are in the 8.6 version you can't even go back to the original LB. Oh well, hopefully it gets updated soon.

Ok cool, thanks for the info. I tried to revert to the OG LaunchBox, but it doesn't have that option in the menu anymore. I remember seeing it sometime last week, but it isn't anywhere in the menus now. Oh well, hopefully Alec will whip up a new version that works with Next.

ah ok, isn't Next just regular LB now though? I am using the current beta, but there is no .Next.exe anymore for me, it's just LaunchBox.exe. But I'm assuming that is why I"m having an issue.

I had the plugin working ealier this year, came back to it last night and was unable to select the configuration after right clicking, it was greyed out. So I looked around and got the cleaner.dll file, deleted the old version, put the cleaner file in the root of the plugins folder, restarted Launchbox then closed it out as I assume the cleaner file just autoruns. Then downloaded the new configurator, put it in the plugins folder, deleted the cleaner file and then started Launchbox. I right click on a game and select the configurator and nothing happens. Anyone else having this issue or am I doing something wrong?

I've avoided using LB.Next until the weird different colored boxes around the games got removed. Looks like that finally got resolved and also Controller support too. The one final thing that seems to be weird is that the box art images do not resize. When I move the slider down at the bottom, it just gives more spacing, it doesn't resize the image like original LB does. I'm running my PC on a projector and sitting at least 18 feet back on a 100" screen, my display scaling is 150%, I was thinking that might have been an issue, but it looks like that isn't the case. Does anyone else have this, is it a known issue? Am I just missing something? I also did try going into the settings and mess around with the spacing options, but that didn't seem to make a difference at all.

Just my 2 cents here. But before I say anything else, I do want to say thank you. You did an amazing job and I've spent several hours going through and adding and deleting stuff and used your's as a templete to make my own version of this. Right now I'm at 536, trying to either tone it down to 500 even or build it up to 550. The biggest issue I had with your list was there was way too many top down anime shooters. I tried every single one of them for about 5 mins and most felt like clones of each other or different versions of a few. That, and the weird omissions of a lot of classics, like Outrun, Contra, Paperboy, Commando and just a lot of other ones that you would normally see in the top 400 lists of Arcade games. For me adding games that need CHD but are the actual games most people want to play far outweighs size. Sure space can be an issue, but we are halfway into 2018, a 128 gig SD card costs like $30 now. Easily enough to add games like NFL Blitz or NBA Jam and tons of others without having to worry about space. Again, it's your list, you can do what you want, but I saw a lot of filler anime shooters in that list. Again, thank you so much for the list and I think it is good, but adding about 20 classics to that list and taking out a few anime girl shooters might help make it more complete.

I'd be down to see what you have. I've been building my own list for several years, starting back in the original modded Xbox days and slowly adding or removing favorites or what I consider a basic full collection of any arcade game that I would want to play that isn't complete crap. I'm trying to keep it at a solid 1,000

Now that we are a month away from 200. What do you think the time frame for this list to be done? Will it be when 200 drops, or before?

Cool, thanks man, interesting info, I'll just use Buildbot server as default, unless I run into an error.

Sweet, thanks man! What is the difference between the buildbot and RAW builds?

Ah ok, yeah Angrylion might be more accurate, but man it looks like a blurry mess. I just tried some stuff and Angrylion plugin looks worst than just hooking up my actual N64 to my tv. I'd take a nicer cleaner uprezed look for N64 games over what Angrylion makes it look like. It's such a bummer, I really wish someone would redo the N64 emulation instead of us having t deal with all these plugins and stuff.

Really? I'm running Parallel and it allows for the Resolution to be changed. I was under the assumption that Parallel is the core to use for N64 games now too.

in LB.Next, if you choose to use the Default Background, it just displays the color for the theme. In Normal LB, choosing Use Default Background, It uses a nice clean Carbon Fiber looking background which I like the look of much more than a single bright theme color or the horrible fanart that it looks like most people use.

So I just got fed up with about an hour of troubleshooting yesterday and just reformatted really quick and it fixed the issue. I'm assuming some weird driver issue was at the bottom of it, but again, I just didn't have the time to really dig deep. Anyways, it's all fixed. Thanks for your suggestions

I came home today and wanted to start playing some games, and for whatever reason today RetroArch has no audio when playing games whatsoever. I tested out multiple cores, multiple games, made sure Audio was enabled, changed it to +12 db and everything in between and just no audio. When I launch another emulator, Like Dolphin, Cemu, MAME sound works fine. When I launch a Youtube video or a Plex video sound works. So it's not a issue with Windows. This is a brand new Vanilla install of Windows 10 Pro. Downloaded a new RetroArch version just to see if mine was corrupt somehow but even the new one doesn't have audio either. I went into the driver settings and it's got the xaudio as the audio driver that works on my other PCs with the exact same copy. I'm completely stumped. Nothing was changed last night to today in regards to the settings or PC.

So there is definitely something wrong with the new Windows 10 April update that doesn't allow NullDC to run. Two of my PCs have the new update. PC 1 (Main PC): Win 10 Pro April Update, NullDC closes immediately after starting the program. PC 2 : WIn 10 Pro April Update: NullDC opens but crashes as soon as game is selected and tries to start the emulation PC 3: Win 10 Pro Doesn't have April Update: Runs perfectly fine PC 4: Win 10 Pro Doesn't have April Update: Runs perfectly fine I tried Demul and changing the plugin to the Image plug in will load the game, but it goes to the dashboard and treat the game like a audio CD.

Yeah, I tried Demul and it just comes up as an Audio disc when trying to play the Toejam and Earl 3 beta. Do you know why that would happen?

It crashes upon starting the program. I can't load a game to test it out as it loads up, then disappears within about 3 seconds after starting. I have the correct bioses in the data folder, and the correct plugins as well, it just won't start up at all

So my friend and I are playing through the Toejam and Earl series, and I wanted to play around with the Toejam and Earl 3 beta that got leaked a few years ago for the Dreamcast. Well, first I tried Retroarch and loaded it up in the Riecast emulator and it basically freezes RetroArch everytime it gets past the Bios. Then I did a bit more research and everyone from 2014 says NullDC is the way to go to get the game to run. So I load up NullDC and if crashes upon boot every single time. Spent several hours but to no avail. I have a Windows 10 PC and can't find any help on how to get NullDC to actually start on a Windows PC. I saw one post say Dx 9 needs to be installed, but when I tried it, it needs to be running in a very old version of windows to install (Win XP, or Server 2003). Anyone have any ideas on how to get this emulator to run, just so I can check out some beta? I find it hard to believe NullDC is the only thing that can run this game.
